The quarter gallery assembly is designed as a perfect fit to the stern
fascia.

Through the use of tabs and slots, the quarter gallery patterns are
automatically aligned at the correct angle to accept the skins.

The lower quarter gallery skin fitted.

With the quarter gallery fitted, the gun deck is fitted and planked
before attention turns to the inner gunport patterns.

With the quarter gallery fitted, the gun deck is fitted and planked
and attention then turns to the inner gunport patterns. The opposite
pictures demonstrate how best to align the inner gunport patterns.
The top picture shows the inner gunport patternincorrectly
positioned; looking through the gunport, you can see the opposite
corresponding gunport perfectly central (black square) but the inner
gunport pattern is off centre as only the top and left edges can be
seen (red lines).
The lower picture shows the inner gunport pattern correctly
positioned; again with the opposite corresponding gunport seen perfectly
central (black square), the inner gunport is now also just visible
and perfectly centred (red square). When this is achieved the inner
gunport pattern can be pinned and glued into place.

The inner bulwark planking forming a flush fit to the deck planking.
Note that the gunports have not yet been fully cleared in this picture.

With the inner bulwark fitted and planked, the gunports are lined
and the second planking continues upward resulting in a recess to
accommodate the gunport lid.

Model designed entirely in-house by Rich, Dave and John.
